I’m in my early 30’s and seeking a career change. I’ve had various jobs through the years and most recently have been in the corporate IT space, particularly cybersecurity and identity management, but it’s not something I’m interested in (and frankly not something I’m particularly skilled at either). I have a Bachelor’s degree in English and I was also formerly in the military (Army NG). My interests include sports, pop culture (music, film, TV, literature, etc), and writing, the latter of which is my dream career. Any advice? Any certifications that are recommended? Any tips and insights are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Take a moment to think about what you want to do for a career. Do you value money over personal time or stress? Do you prefer office, travelling, outside? etc.
Take a career assessment test.
Otherwise you will probably just get a lot of responses saying to join a trade or get into healthcare.
